KRISTI KING, vocalist extraordinaire
KRISTI KING
is a versatile and dynamic performer who
has entertained people all over the West Coast for over thirty years.
She has worked in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, and the Portland
and Seattle
areas performing in all kinds of venues - from big Las
Vegas casinos to intimate Palm Springs supper clubs.
No matter the venue, Kristi connects with her audience; they feel she is
singing directly to them whether they are the recipient of her “Gift of
Song,” a sort of singing telegram, or sitting in the back row of a
theater.
Putting over a song is what great singes like Frank Sinatra and Doris
Day do, Kristi King can do that.
It’s no wonder she is asked back time and time again.
Kristi has amassed a huge repertory, drawing from the
pop, rock, R&B, country and standards genres. Her songs come from every
decade, from the early days of Broadway through the 50s, 60s, 70s, up to
today.
She performs in various configurations: solo (with custom-recorded
musical backgrounds), duo (with a pianist or guitarist), trio, quartet,
or full band and orchestra.
Her specialty is tribute shows. Since she premiered the Doris Day
tribute in 2011, she has added a second Doris Day show, with different
songs and stories, "Country Girls," "The Great American Songbook,"
and "Peggy Lee, I Love Being Here With You," among others.
